Inspired by the summer exhibition, Illusions: The Art of Magic, this year’s ball at Arsenal was aptly titled Abracadabra, dazzling guests throughout with a host of DICK WALSH-directeddetails including a magic-glam champagne reception; elaborate dinner by Mannica Utapat with service by Sébastien Forand and wines graciously offered by the Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ); and seriously good tunes and visual animation courtesy of DJ Geneviève Borne and VJ Video Girl. EVEN BETTER: The hypnotic eve raised a tall tally for the museum’s foundation. Photography KAREL CHLADEK, SABRINA LOIRIER, ADONIS NOAILE
